Your family of origin (FOO) is who raised you, not necessarily who you are related to biologically. While genetics and heredity are important to know and trace for medical, mental health, and substance abuse reasons, our FOO is the underpinning of our morals and values. Instructions: Identify your family patterns and history - (e.g. medical, mental health, substance abuse, education, family relationships - closeness or cut-offs, military service) Reflect on the morals and values that were instilled by your FOO and how that shaped your current belief system
